Sweet, corny, and innocent!


This movie was so cute but corny, but I like the innocence, its something you don't see today in films or tv with young people. It seems tv and movies are just slutting young women up today, in this 1940s films you see young girls who are curious, hormones are raging, but they have some control and don't succumb to sexual promiscuity, so not to shame themselves or their parents. It seems back then holding hands and getting a little smooch was good enough. I think girls back in the old days were smart, a guy couldn't get much without proposing to a girl, whereas girls now and days just give it up and the guy hasn't even earned the advantages. No wonder guys today don't want to commit or get married, why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free. Guys back in the old days knew if they wanted to get anywhere they would have to propose.

Yeah, these days it's all about doing whatever feels good at the moment with little, if any, regard for the consequences.
